Neil, I think you will have to remove the tank, the starter is held on by two studs which pass the complete length of the starter and hold it all together so be careful not to let it all fall to bits on removal, I regret the day when I first removed one of these and received a blunt trauma to my left eye.
be careful. kevin.

Neil, you should be able to get it off leaving all that in place and just removing the lower engine pannel by the statrer, remember the starter is forward of the fuel tank etc. its not to bad a job, i have done it on the side of the road before now.

I didn't know you had a MK2 Neil? Send me some pictures sometime please.
I was getting ready to remove the starter on mine a few months back. I was also hoping to get away without taking the tank out. It looked possible! Which Shaun has confirmed. As you might remember. Mine is fitted with a 12V system and remote solenoid for the starter. It was in fact the solenoid that was the problem. Ron

Ron I have had my Mk11* for a long time but it has never moved out the garage. It must be one of the most complete in the country if you still need to measure up for anything.
It must be a very tight fit to actually withdraw it and trying to work out where the bolts are and how to get on to them was putting me off.

Neil I'll have to come to Trowbridge one day!
For what's involved! It might be just as easy to remove the tank anyway. After squirming about in the confined areas of a carrier I always end up suffering with my gammy limbs. Ron

Finally got my Fuel Tank out yesterday which confirmed that my vehicle came out of the factory in March 1944 in Brown.
The only bolts I can see are the ones are the two in the end casing of the starter motor. Are these the studs which Kevin metions as they don't realy look large enough to be holding the starter motor to the bell housing? I decided to take the Fuel Tank out to give myself a clearer view never having done it before. I also had the mechanical linkage to disconnect on a Mk11*.
